"We are very pleased to achieve this major milestone for Petrosonic shareholders," announced Art Agolli, CEO of Petrosonic. "The start of the heavy crude emulsion process demonstrates our ability to generate revenue from our technologies and to complete our projects on time. In addition, most of the infrastructure used for the emulsion process is the same that will be used for our de-asphalting Sonoprocess™ and their completion and operation is also an important step forward."

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it has completed several major components of the de-asphalting Sonoprocess™ line located within the same facility as emulsion plant. The company has completed the liquefied natural gas heating system, the anti-fire system, the loading and unloading systems and the major infrastructure lines. The Company continues to make progress with the engineering and completion of the solvent recovery system that is being done by Gas Liquid Engineering of Calgary, Canada and that part should be completed by 3rd Quarter of 2013.
